We need a systematic labor strike, industry by industry, compounded weekly until this administration is removed. Foodservice, healthcare, retail, construction, the trades, rail workers, educators, tech, and so on for as long as necessary. LABOR HOLDS THE POWER.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I think we're all trying to grapple with what happened today in the Oval Office, when Trump publicly defied SCOTUS.
And it didn't stop there; he openly declared he'd send AMERICAN CITIZENS to an El Salvadoran gulag, never to be returned...or found.
If you're not grappling, you need to start. NOW.
